Mageia 10 keeps the 32-bit Linux flame alive
Mageia 10 marks 15 years since the distribution's first release in June 2011. The project began the previous year as a fork of Mandriva, itself formerly known as Mandrake Linux. We last looked at Mageia alongside the other Mandrake descendants in 2022.
What sets Mageia apart from OpenMandriva Lx, PCLinuxOS, and Russia's ROSA Linux is its continued support for 32-bit x86 PCs. Its GNOME and KDE Plasma live images are available only for x86-64, while the Xfce edition comes in both x86-64 and x86-32 versions.

Mageia 10 Linux Releases After Three Years: Wayland Default on Plasma and GNOME
Mageia 10, the latest release of the community-managed Linux distribution with roots stretching back to Mandrake Linux, shipped on June 29, 2026, closing a development gap of nearly three years since Mageia 9 arrived in August 2023. The release makes KDE Plasma 6.5.5 and GNOME 49 the first two desktop environments in Mageia's history to default to Wayland sessions out of the box — a milestone that reflects how far both environments' compositors have matured since Mageia 9 shipped with X11 as the universal default. For developers running RPM-based Linux, the release also brings the most current compiler stack in the project's history and a first-ever pledge to keep Rust updated throughout the distribution's support lifecycle.
